Strategic partnership brings modular, carbon-negative power to agriculture and ranching — starting in the California Central Valley
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, CA – April 22, 2025—China New Energy Group Company (OTC: CNER), a publicly traded clean energy infrastructure and finance company, today announced that it has entered into a strategic agreement to commercialize the syngas technology developed by BioEnergy Solutions Inc., an Alberta, Canada renewable energy developer, to launch the first commercial deployment of the bioReactor—a modular, containerized waste-to-energy system.
The initial installation is proposed to be located onsite at a major cattle operation in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Under the agreement, China New Energy Group Company will create a majority owned commercialization entity called SynGas BioEnergy Corporation. CNER will undertake to provide capital to fund the subsidiary in order to build, install and support ongoing operations of the bioReactor technology.
The bioReactor is engineered within a 40-foot shipping container and utilizes pyrolysis to convert manure and other organic waste into clean thermal energy and biochar. The compact system delivers up to 1.5 megawatts of thermal energy per hour from 2 tons per hour of cow manure. The bioreactors will be placed close to waste sites, creating a micro-power Grid for all farming operations.
“Manure pollution is one of California’s most severe yet under-acknowledged environmental crises. With nearly 2.4 million cows (Source: USDA California Cattle County Estimates, May 9, 2022), the state produces almost 128,800 tons of manure daily”, said Gary Bartholomew, Chairman and CEO of China New Energy Group Company. “California represents a massive opportunity for scalable, on-site bioenergy solutions that solve waste, energy, and environmental issues in one closed-loop system.”
Following this first deployment, China New Energy Group plans to fund the rollout of multiple additional bioReactor units. Each installation will be designed to serve the energy demands of local farming and processing operations that are increasingly vulnerable to grid constraints and price volatility.
The market opportunity in California alone is substantial and represents one of the world’s largest and most concentrated manure-to-energy markets. With close to 2.4 million dairy and beef cows producing nearly 128,800 tons of manure per day (www.lpelc.org March 5, 2019). Under strict environmental regulations, this waste stream creates both a cost burden and an untapped energy resource. With our Syngas BioEnergy bioReactors converting just 2 ton of manure into 1.5 MWh of power per hour, the total potential energy output exceeds 35 million MWh annually — translating to an estimated $7.0 billion in potential annual energy revenue at $0.20 per kWh. Deploying approximately 2,683 bioReactors statewide would unlock this market, giving California farmers energy independence, reducing emissions, and transforming a waste liability into clean, localized power.
